NPD ZVEX spam can fuzz factory

01-21-2012, 06:13 PM

got this off of StopRefrencing. it's a '98 with the spam can trannies. this sounds like i always wanted my '04 FF to sound--good low end & not harsh on the treble. the toan is hard to describe because the pedal has a certain je ne sais quoi.

anyhow, it's dohp as ****************. having good low end and no harshness actually makes this pedal usable for normal/conventional fuzz sounds--which was always my beef with my '04.

MAN for that kind of thing U got to go Back to the Old boxes from back when!! In those days we would bring are AMPS to the lake and wnen U tilt the Cab down by the water U can see the ****************in DENT it made! With the waves coming off it and Everything ****************!!!!! NOwadays they all play in there Dens and home bars or watever kind of **************** they get up to

Don't know. The only info I've found is that Vex bought the remaining stock of some trannies that were specially made for some MN company. I guess there were only a hundred or so and he was unable to find any more. Would actually like to know more myself.

I finally got to play a Fuzz Factory (not sure of the transistors) not that long ago and I was pleasantly surprised. Sounded kinda similar to the Silver Apple, which surprised me because the two aren't incredibly similar.

Comment

The early ones with skinny/ tall transistors sound good as well. They sound similar to the spam can. You can hear it in the original zvex demo. The fuzz cuts through, but isn't harsh.

Congrats... I almost bought that one as well.

Yep, my '00 fuzz probe has those trannies and it's similar in toan--smoother, softer, more low end.
